Regional Faculty Conference on Research and Teaching Excellence

The Faculty Conference on Research and Teaching Excellence (FCRTE) is a two-day meeting, typically Friday and Saturday in the Spring, which rotates around the country based on NAM's regional structure. The conference is geared for faculty from Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). The conference consists of five components:

A Short Course in Computational Science This is a two-hour course to be held on Friday as the conference begins.

Contributed Talks Eight faculty speakers may present on topics of their choice. Each faculty speaker has 25 minutes to present with 5 minutes of questions and answers. The talks will be held on Saturday.

Regional Panel Discussion A discussion to focus on issues relevant to the region in which the conference is held. The conference will close out on Saturday with this discussion.

We will have shuttles which will transport guests from the Ramada Plaza to Morehouse College.
